because those are common physical units people have at home, especially tablespoons and teaspoons are basically universal and have clearly defined ml conversions anyways.

i hear those warriors from ravenfell have curved beaks.

i find what makes water taste good is mineral content, i'm sure it's not actually healthy but water that's been sitting in e.g. a metal watering can can taste incredibly crisp and fresh.

we need prancing lessons in school

This is not true in sweden at least: Luleå Tekniska Universitet (LTU) have been running a study on how much space kids have to move around on their own, and that number has absolutely plummeted over the past 4 generations, and this is very very very very clearly attributed to parents being afraid of cars.

You can totally find premade viking clothing for purchase but it'll generally be expensive and not necessarily any good quality.

The nice thing though about premodern commoner clothing is that it's generally simple enough that you can make it at home, especially with a sewing machine.

I highly recommend making a ruana cloak at least, it's absolutely trivial to make and very flexible.
All you need is a rectangle of fabric (a blanket works perfectly fine and will be very cozy and hilariously cheap), which you make a cut down the middle of the short side into the middle of the fabric, and then you sew some reinforcement at the end of the cut to prevent it tearing due to strain. If you want to be fancy you can cut out a circle in the middle so it sits a bit more nicely against the neck, and play around with the shape of the outer edges of the cloak.

I find the easiest and most normal-looking way to wear it is to just wrap a belt around the waist, like this:

Then if i need more warmth i can scrunch the fabric up more and basically turn it into a puffy jacket.
